There is uncertainty over who will start in net for Arsenal against Stoke City with David Ospina healthy and Wojciech Szczesny in the doghouse.

Arsene Wenger denied rumors from Danish television that his Polish goalkeeper has been banished from the starting line-up for the balance of the season. He also failed to comment one way or the other on who would start against the Potters. At the beginning of the season Ospina was thought to have a chance to unseat the Poland international and Szczesny's poor choices during and after the Southampton match may have opened the door for the now-healthy Ospina. This one bears watching for sure with fantasy managers exercising caution in selecting either Arsenal keeper. Jan 9 - 1:54 PM

Rumors from Denmark are reporting that Wojciech Szczesny was fined and told he won't play again this season after a locker room outburst of some sort after the Southampton match.

The source of the rumor isn't as spurious as many on the internet as it came from former Arsenal midfielder John Jensen who a) regularly communicates with Arsenal first team manager/former Jensen teammate Steve Bould and b) was reporting on Danish TV as opposed to a dubious web site or tabloid newspaper. Sczcesny was neither in the starting line-up nor on the bench for the FA Cup win over Hull City but no official statement has been made. It could be nothing but it's at least worth monitoring with Szczesny falling behind fellow young goalkeepers like David De Gea. Jan 5 - 10:43 AM

Wojciech Szczesny returns to Arsenal's Premier League line-up after a spell out injured.

Emilio Martinez did a solid job deputizing for the Polish international given his youth and inexperience in the Premier League but Arsene Wenger will be happy to have his number one back for Saturday's match with Newcastle. Szczesny might not be quite as happy though given the defense that is likely to be lining up in front of him with Laurent Koscielny, Calum Chambers and Nacho Monreal all out injured.

Wojciech Szczesny suffered a double whammy on Saturday as the goalkeeper was not only taken out by his own defender resulting in the opening goal at home to Manchester United but the injury forced the Polish international off with less than 15 minutes gone in the second half.

In an attempt to clear an in swinging cross from Ashley Young Szczesny came scampering off his line and collided with full-back Kieran Gibbs who was the recipient of an unnoticed Marouane Fellaini push – as both players remained on the floor the onrushing Antonio Valencia slammed the ball back into the box only for the outstretched leg of Gibbs to divert the ball into his own net. Szczesny remained down and following treatment a decision was made to introduce Damian Martinez despite the keeper wanting to continue. Post-match Wenger revealed the problem was not serious – hip injury - although his participation in the UCL against Dortmund is in serious doubt. He joins David Ospina on the sidelines meaning youngster Ryan Huddart could make the squad on Wednesday. Sun, Nov 23, 2014 05:55:00 PM
